"I am filled with sorrow to speak about the passing of Joanna and Lucy Simon. Their loss will be long and haunting. As sad as this day is, it's impossible to mourn them without celebrating their incredible lives that they lived," Carly said.
“We were three sisters who not only took turns blazing trails and marking courses for one another; we were each other's secret shares," she went on. "The co-keepers of each other's memories."
The singer, who also lost her brother in 2018, added: "I have no words to explain the feeling of suddenly being the only remaining direct offspring of Richard and Andrea Simon."
She mentioned that Lucy and Joanna "touched everyone they knew and those of us they've left behind will be lucky and honored to carry their memories forward."
